II is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for The great
publishing house of George Stinson &
Go, Of Portland, Maine The reason
of this exceptional success is found in
the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreci-
ated and at prices all can afford. At
present we understand, their agents
are doing wonderfully we'll on scyer-
al new lines. They need many more

The Telephone Cases.

New York Special A rumor is
current that the United States supreme
court has passed upon the telephone
salts before it, and that the court has
decided that the claims Of the Bell
Telephone company to IA patent on
the right to trasmit vocal sounds by
electricity have been set aside. i is
stated that the decision has not vet
been made public because there was
division among the judges, and the
minority desired time to prepare an
opinion. These matters are guarded
with the greatest care by the supreme
court officers, but the evidence APP
pears strong that Il decision has been
written, and some intimation Of its
character may explain the remarkable
fluctuations in telephone stocks on the
Boston board during the week. In
one day the Bell stock fell over forty
points while the Drawbaugh made IL
sponding jump.

ment and prosperity

The OoSitiOn of Italy in n

The position of Italy in inter
national affairs Is now one Of impor-
lance and strength, and no one can
follow, much less predict, the course
of events in Europe without clear
understanding of the government of
that State and the characteristics of
her public men. Information on
these points is supplied in careful
article in HAMPERS MAGAZINE for
January, by J. s Farrer Twenty
portraits Of members of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies are given
among them Depretis's and his sue
cessor Crispi's-which add much to
the interest of the next.

Three fore Railroads cCmiag.

The Railroad Gazette, of New
York, which may be regarded as the
leading pub lication of lis class IN the
country, thinks that i'll the northwest,
as in the west and southwest, that
there is no one railroad that can fair
ly say that it has found a place at
which to stop. Under this view of
the question, there is already q fair
prospect that there will be a great
deal of railroad binding another year.
Although there are now six railroads
connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis
with Chicago, nearly all Of which have
more or less direct lines to points on
the west end of Lake Superior, yet the
Gazette says several of the other Chi
cago lines are now credited with the
intention to build to St. Paul and
Minneapolis and at least three of the
proposed extensions to Lake Superior
may fairly be called probable. The
Gazette saws.

Rebels Sentenced to Death-The View Taken
by st. Petersburg Official Organ.
SOFIA. March 5.-Nine of the Rustchuk rebels
have been sentenced to death. The consuls of
the various powers at Rustchuk have urged a
postponement Of the carrying out OF the sem
tence. Other troops who took part in the in
surrection have been sentenced to prison. Capt.
Bollmann charged with being one of the leaders
of the instruction, and who claimed to be a
Russian subject, has sought German protection.
Order prevails everywhere in Bulgaria to-day.
The ST. Petersburg Official Messenger says:
"The insurrection at Sistria is due to the pres
that has weighed upon Bulgaria ever since
1886, especially since the party leaders, deriving
strength by unscrupulous means, seized power.
Many of the beat Bulgarian officers emigrated
because they unable to contemplate in cold
blood the Bulgarian army, forgetting its des-
tiny, becoming the blind tool of a political
party. Despite their small resources, their in
dignation compelled them to resort to an auda-
cious enterprise, which the failure Of the Con-
stantinople negotiations probably preeipitated.
While regretting needless bloodshed, Russia
considers the occurrences at Silistria fresh
proof of Bulgaria's abnormal condition. Russia
hopes to see restored order of things securing
to the Bulgarians their legal rights; meanwhile
Russa's policy will remain unchanged"

PREPARING FOR THE MUSICIANS.
Chorus for the National Convention To Be
Organized at consolidating Committee.

The executive and music committees connect
ed with the eleventh annual concert of the Ma
tiona! Music teachers Association, in this city on
the 5th, 9th and 7th of July next, met at the res
idence of Prof. Max Leckner. on Wednesday
night, and authorized contract with Prof
Won der Stochen, of New York, for the services
of himself and an orchestra of eighty six must
clans during the meeting of the association.
Prof. Alexander Earnestinoff was selected to
train and drill the chorus. and the music com
mittee directed to take steps to organize
the chorus at once. All persons who are will
ing to take part are requested to send their
names to either Professor Earnestinoff, Theodore
Pfaf1n or Charles Krauss.
The entire expenses of the convention and fes-
rivals will be about Sc. 500, and while the receipts
Of concerts at previous festivals have more than
paid the expenses. it was determined that
inasmuch as the association had decided to hold
session in this city by invitation of the City
Council, Board of Aldermen, Board of Trade and
Merchants Exchange, that it would be prudent
to ask the citizens for guarantee of s.. 900. Ii
is not probable that they will be called upon for
any portion of the subscription, as it is expected
that the receipts from the concerts will equal, if
not exceed, the expenses. These concerts will
be superior to any ever given outside of the
great cities, and it being the first meeting of the
association ever held in the West, will attract
the attention of all persons interested in music
or musical matters all over the West.
The committee on finance, of which Col Geo.
W. Johnston is chairman, have appointed the
following subcommittee to canvass the city for
subscriptions to the guarantee fund:
North part of City-w G. Smock
